Medtec 2025: Catalyzing Innovation and Growth in China’s Medical Device Industry
Since its establishment, Medtec has served as a premier platform for the global medical device industry—bringing together experts, innovators, and manufacturers in the fields of design, research, and production. The 2024 edition demonstrated its growing international influence with 920 exhibitors from 22 countries and regions, including 269 first-time participants. Among them, over 95% expressed interest in returning, and 93.3% would recommend the event to others. Over the course of three days, 81,547 professional visitors attended—64% of whom were newcomers. As the 19th edition approaches in September 2025, expectations are high for even greater scale, participation, and innovation.
I. Rapid Growth of China’s Medical Device Market
1. China’s Rising Global Influence in Medtech
According to the 2024 China Medical Device Industry Development Research Report, China’s medical device sector has achieved a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10%, expanding from 553.2 billion yuan to 1,311 billion yuan in 2023. This makes China the second-largest medical device market globally, trailing only the United States.
2. Shift Toward High-End Domestic Innovation
While China has made strides in scale, the country is actively working to reduce dependence on imported technologies. In 2023, high-end medical device output reached over 900 billion yuan, growing 12.3% year-over-year. Nevertheless, much of the market remains concentrated in low-end products. The aging population and rising demand for smarter healthcare solutions continue to drive the urgency for innovation and localization.
II. Medtec 2025: A Reimagined Platform for Industrial Innovation
1. Expanded Exhibition Space and Participation
Medtec 2025 will continue to be held at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center, occupying Hall 1 (Medical Manufacturing Service & Equipment Pavilion) and Hall 2 (Medical Materials & Core Components Pavilion). More than 700 companies and brands have confirmed participation, showcasing new solutions across the entire medical engineering and device supply chain. With categories more clearly defined, this year’s exhibition aims to provide a more specialized, immersive experience.
2. Notable Exhibitors and Global Presence
International and domestic companies such as HnG Medical Technology (Canada), TRUMPF (China), DuPont China, TE Connectivity, Knowles Electronics, and IBA Particle Accelerator Technology will be present, among others. These companies highlight the global scale and technological diversity of Medtec 2025.
III. R&D and Innovation: Paving the Way for Localization
1. Fostering a High-End Medical Ecosystem
Medtec has spent the past 20 years building a trusted platform in China, bringing together buyers, engineers, and product designers. As the country pushes for domestic innovation in high-end equipment, Medtec helps bridge the gap between R&D and industrial application, providing a launchpad for smarter, more effective medical technologies.
2. Spotlight on “Smart Manufacturing”
In 2024, over 150 exhibitors showcased innovations in optical technology, sensors, imaging systems, chips, and power supply systems. The upcoming 2025 edition will reinforce this trend by emphasizing integration between engineering and medical technologies, with a spotlight on the High-End Active Medical Device Technology Exhibition (ADTE).
3. ADTE Exhibition: Next-Gen Technology Takes Center Stage
Covering a 1,500 m² area, the ADTE zone will host top-tier companies including Amphenol, Fugan Optoelectronic Technology, Zhejiang Quarkmed, and GlobTek Power Technology. These firms are at the forefront of active medical device innovation, contributing to the industry’s rapid movement toward intelligent, high-performance equipment.
IV. Conferences and Forums: A Knowledge Hub for the Industry
1. 2024 Forum Highlights and Turnout
Medtec 2024 featured more than 100 technical forums, focusing on regulation, technology, engineering integration, and market trends. The inaugural consumer healthcare forum drew over 3,500 participants, diving into sectors like dental care, aesthetics, ophthalmology, and fertility treatment.
2. Medtec 2025: Deeper Insight, Broader Perspective
Building on last year’s success, Medtec 2025 will refine and expand its forum structure. Each theme—such as regulation, quality control, and investment—will include dedicated sub-forums, allowing participants to gain clearer and more actionable insights. A new Academic Forum will also be introduced, featuring scholars from top universities and research institutions sharing cutting-edge findings and trends.
Conclusion
With China’s medical device market entering a new era of innovation and localization, Medtec 2025 is set to play a crucial role in shaping the industry’s future. From product design to manufacturing and market expansion, the event offers a dynamic platform where global players and local innovators meet to collaborate and compete. As China aims to move from “big” to “strong” in the global medical device arena, events like Medtec not only reflect this transformation but actively accelerate it. For anyone involved in medical technology, Medtec 2025 is a must-attend opportunity to connect, showcase, and lead in this evolving landscape.
